The Most Influential Person of 2007: Jordin Sparks, The American Idol

Jordin Sparks, the 2007 "American Idol winner"

Seventeen-year-old Jordin Sparks achieved the dream of a lifetime by becoming the newest American Idol. Jordin Sparks the girl-next-door from Glendale, Arizona didn’t seem like the type to win American Idol. She’s the daughter of former Dallas Cowboys left cornerback Phillip Sparks. She planned for about a year before she auditioned for American Idol at the age of sixteen.

I picked Jordin Sparks because she’s influential to teens. She achieved a dream and she’s also a great singer. But the main reason I picked her is because she set her mind on something and then achieved that goal. I also like her because she’s the type that never gives up. Jordin Sparks is an achiever and a believer. She’s a fighter and NOT a quitter. She is an American Idol to me.
